ANINAATURAL FATHER
He Murders His children a. Fast as
They Are Born. &C

A st. .ohnsbury (Nt) special says: Fur.
ther Investigation into the case OF Wiililm
T.. Dizln, Of Wheelock, who was recently
arrested for a second offence Of liquor
selling, has resulted in his being held for
examination on the charge Of numbering
five OF bis own children. The first child, 1t
j. claimed, was murdered three years ago,
when she was only three weeks old. Since
then the Dizans hsye had four children, all
OF whom disappeared soon after birth. The
disappearance at the time caused a good
deal Of t9lk, but nothing was done in the
way OF investigating until State Attorney
Dunneit on taking his office had HIS atten.
ton called to them. The Investigation be-
gun by him has uncarthed enough evidence
against Dian to make his conviction pr0ba-
bic. The authorities, however, are reticent
about the matter, as they are preparing for
the preliminary hearing.
Dizan has borne an exceedingly bad repu-
tltion in Wheelock. He came there about
three years ago FROM Barnst0n, Province OF
Quebec, and bought small farm in the
western part OF the town. HIS principal
business, however, was smuggling liquor
from Canada and selling it in Orleans coun.
~. only two months ago he was convicted
OF eighteen first offences Of hql0r-selllng,
but he continued his Illicit traffic until he
was arrested for second offence ana
turned over to the sheriff on the charge Of
murder. Many petty offences committed
IN Wheelock since he came there are altrl-
buted to him, and he seems dangerous

and by no means a dul-witted fellow. He

southern Interests Threatened.


VIII The Interstate commerce bill, II IL
becomes a law, iniure the South! Mfr.
John II. lnmln, Of New York, says chat it
will, and he gives some very strong reasons
why be thinks so. Mr. Inman has had a
deep interest in southern enterprises for
over twenty years, and Is therefore quite
well qualified 10 speak OF southern inter
ests and the effect which any sort OF legis'
ation is likely to have upon them.
The provision Of the inter- state COM
meree bill to which he particularly objects
Is that which relates to the short aud long
haul. The South is just now interested in
having cheap rates from the Interior to the
Seaboard, because her cotton, pig'ir0n, and
lumber are srgely shipped to markets out
side Of her limits. II the interstate con-
merce bill becomes law. low rates viii be-
come almost impossible. The South i much
more sparsely settled than the North. aud
hence the local traffic Is much less. IL will
be impossible, therefore, for the railroads to
make their expenses and meet their interest
obligations II they are required to make
their 10 al rates the same as their through
rates. III they raise their through ratesand
make them the same as their local rates
southern commerce win receive check
that will be q serious blow 10 the South's
prosperity.
In The North the railroads may manage %
get along under the short and long.naul
provision, because the local traffic Is enor-
nous. The South, however, is Just begin
ming to grow. and needs transportation
conditions which may not be absolutely
necessary elsewhere. On this point Mr.
Inman says: "Many southern railroads will
be bankrupted and many southern indus
tries paralyzed by the enforcement OF this
Interstate commerce measure. The South
will suffer more than any other section
OF the country, for its mining and
manufacturing interests are sttl In their
infancy, and because she ships nearly her
entire crop, as we'll as almost every ton OF
plg.iron and most Of her cotton goods, to
distant markets, aud therefore Is largely
Interested In cheap rates on long hauls, and
must, for her future development, have all

particularly since 1870, have been OF eX'
traordinary value.
He was 1 state senator in 1872 and again

of the State Convention which appointed
delegates TO the National Democratic Con.

measure the nomination and election OF
General W. Click, the first Democritic
Governor OF Kansas. In 1884 he was again
a presidential electOr at large. and in the
campaign exceeded, in behalf OF Cleveland
and Hendricks, his energies and triumphs
OF four years previous. HIS fellow-Demo-

Letters have been received here announcing
au early visit OF q subcommittee interested
i'm the celebration Of the first anniversary
Of the adoption Of the Federal COnstitu-
ton Of 1851, which will occur next Sep
iember. The Philadelphia members. who
would be naturally favorable to the appro-
priation, do not give very hopeful
opinion Of the prospects OF the requests OF
the subcommittee meeting with success
on account of the lateness OF the session
and the lack Of preredents. The subject,
originally referred to the Committee on the
Library, has since been turned over TO the
Committee on tine Judiciary.
Another source OF opposition is the fact
OF permitting the emineuty appropriate
and inexpensive centennial celebration OF
the Federal Constitution to become mixed
ND with q proposed permanent exposition
Of the three Americas at Washington, which
i, understood in both houses Of Congress to
De- purely speculative affair. A reasOna'
